      blk-mq: make the polling code adaptive · 64f1c21e
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      The previous commit introduced the hybrid sleep/poll mode. Take
      that one step further, and use the completion latencies to
      automatically sleep for half the mean completion time. This is
      a good approximation.
      
      This changes the 'io_poll_delay' sysfs file a bit to expose the
      various options. Depending on the value, the polling code will
      behave differently:
      
      -1	Never enter hybrid sleep mode
       0	Use half of the completion mean for the sleep delay
      >0	Use this specific value as the sleep delay

      blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECT · 06426adf
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
      submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
      For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
      can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
      a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
      after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid
      scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same
      (or less) amount of CPU.

      block: deal with stale req count of plug list · 0a6219a9
      Ming Lei 提交于
      In both legacy and mq path, req count of plug list is computed
      before allocating request, so the number can be stale when falling
      back to slept allocation, also the new introduced wbt can sleep
      too.
      
      This patch deals with the case by checking if plug list becomes
      empty, and fixes the KASAN report of 'BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds'
      which is introduced by Shaohua's patches of dispatching big request.

      block: hook up writeback throttling · 87760e5e
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
      more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
      Background writeback should be, by definition, background
      activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
      means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
      which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
      we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
      of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
      unless someone is waiting for it.
      
      The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
      CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
      the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
      window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
      given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
      is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
      CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
      simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
      scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
      close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
      windows where we get good behavior.
      
      Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
      happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
      scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
      When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
      stable state of a zero scale count.
      
      The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
      target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
      75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
      blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.
      
      We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
      a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
      on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
      that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
      rely on CFQ doing that for us.

      blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism · e34cbd30
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
      writes.
      
      wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
      happening in the system:
      
      wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
      wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
                     wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
      wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32
      
      This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
      dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
      step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
      device, 259:0 in this case.

      block: add scalable completion tracking of requests · cf43e6be
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
      blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
      sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
      state.
      
      The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.
      
      Add sysfs files to display the stats.
      
      The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
      users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
      flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
      the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

      blk-mq: Always schedule hctx->next_cpu · c02ebfdd
      Gabriel Krisman Bertazi 提交于
      Commit 0e87e58b ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
      wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
      __blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead.  Problem is, in the
      last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
      schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
      the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
      workaround.
      
      The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
      in hctx->next_cpu.  This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
      running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
      BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

      For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init

      On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting
      on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging.
      
      Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that

      block: immediately dispatch big size request · 50d24c34
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes
      sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if
      request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock
      contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk
      utilization.
      
      In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write
      workload.
      
      The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock
      contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check
      average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO,
      probably not worthy.
      
      V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as
      there is one big size request we flush the plug.

      block: better op and flags encoding · ef295ecf
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
      of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
      request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
      first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
      stop having to shift around the operation values.
      
      In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
      instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
      that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.
      
      Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
      field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
      value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.
